Cool, the 283 never really changed from '58 - '67!

The 302 was small journal in 67, large journal with 2-bolt mains in 68, and large journal with 4-bolt mains for 1969.
They said that the early 350s had small journals, but that is not correct. The large journals that were introduced on the balance of the small blocks for 1968 actually started on the 1967 350s.
The 265 actiually did stay in production through 1957, though in passenger cars it was only available with manual transmissions for 1957. The 265 was the V8 used in the light duty trucks through 1957. Passenger car 265s for 1957 were painted gold, not orange.
The first Chevy V8 was 288 cubic inches. It was in the lineup around WWI, that is 1917-18. The car probably cost the same as a house.

First I've heard of a 510. Anyone ever see one of these?
Not sure if it was the 510 or the 495, but I did see one in Greg Pickett's IMSA tube-frame Corvette, circa 1980. Cross ram fuel injection, what a beautiful sight (and sound!). That car was wicked fast, showed those snotty Porsche turbo cars a thing or two.

The 19751976 262 was a 262 cu in (4.3 L) 90° pushrod V8 with an iron block and heads. Bore and stroke were 3.67 in (93 mm) by 3.10 in (78.7 mm). Power output for 1975 was 110 hp (82 kW) and 133 lb·ft (180 N·m) at 3600 rpm. The 262 was replaced by the 305 for the 1977 model year.
This was Chevrolet's second 4.3 L-displacement powerplant; four other Chevrolet engines displaced 4.3 L: the Vortec 4300 (a V6 based on the Chevrolet 350, with two cylinders removed), the original 265 V8 in 1955, a stroked version of the stovebolt-era 235 inline six displacing 261 cubic inches, and a derivative of the GenerationII LT engines known as the L99 (using the 305's 3.736-inch bore, 5.94-inch connecting rods, and a 3-inch crankshaft stroke).
The 265 actiually did stay in production through 1957, though in passenger cars it was only available with manual transmissions for 1957. The 265 was the V8 used in the light duty trucks through 1957. Passenger car 265s for 1957 were painted gold, not orange.
I always thought the 265 in 57 was U.S. only in pass cars and all Canadian cars came with the 283.

... sorry I could not find a bigger photo, but here is what that fuel injection system looked like with the hood off:
